A West Papuan cacao region centred on Ransiki in South Manokwari Regency, where post-conflict rehabilitation has rebuilt smallholder production around the former 4,064-hectare CDC concession. The Eiber Suth cooperative now manages around 1,600 hectares and supplies fine-flavour lots to Jakarta-based processors and international makers.
